Galvanized!

During the wee hours of my Prime…..
In such diurnal course, I was wallowing on my reading desk
Trying to read meaning into my tome….
There came an utter excitatory…..as I looked out of my window
Bewildered by the exhilaration of the throng down……
Holy smoke! “thou eyes couldest not believe what I saw as that early hour”?
Shocked by the crowd that shouted euphorically…
my vision became like a hat with a diaphanous veil……
to my dorsum, I received stupefactions that sent crepitated and sharp jitters like that of a rattlesnake………….
What could that be? I asked rhetorically to such frippery….
“It’s the popular beverage”, an onlooker yelled merrily……
“coffee chocolates”, my mouth watered, hastily, I was soon found cock-a-hoo around the thrilled.

Firstly a great welcome to Neopoet, this seems to be an amble into your own world where we need to be introduced.
Your use of words will stump a few of the readers here, so try putting this into a group of Stanzas with a story with start and end.
Keep your reader wanting more, this is where a simpler use of words with more excitement is needed.
I see you have at the end used an old expression of:- "Cock a Hoo" this should be
Cock-a-hoop
adj (usually postpositive)
1. in very high spirits
2. boastful
3. askew; confused
Perhaps from the phrase to set the cock a hoop to live prodigally, literally: to put a cock on a hoop, a full measure of grain.
Some of these old sayings are taken from very old English and not used much today, you should read up on:-
"Pop Goes the Weasel"
What does Pop Goes the Weasel mean?
Pop! goes the weasel.
A penny for a spool of thread.
A penny for a needle.
That's the way the money goes.
Pop -- goes the weasel!
All around the mulberry bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey thought it was all in fun,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Have fun and have a great time here at Neopoet,
Yours Ian..

Your poem is unique and fun to read.

If you were to fill in the blanks or the "...." with words and images, you could also probably make a second poem out of those, too!

I enjoy the excitement of reading this
My mind was locked waiting patiently to find what it is that you found so galvanizing "coffee chocolate".
